If you have a kid, you know just how impressionable they can be. When I was growing up, my little brother used to want to do everything I did — he wanted to put on makeup, play with my dolls, listen to my music. There’s nothing wrong or toxic about it — it’s all an exploration to figure out their own place in life.

When Twitter user Ky noticed her brother kept pulling a mat out of his diaper bag and lying down on it, she wasn’t sure exactly what he was doing at first. Eventually, though, she realized he was imitating his Muslim daycare teachers. And instead of freaking out like some people would, she thought it was adorable.

My brother has been doing this thing where he pulls a mat out of his diaper bag and lays on it like this and we couldn’t figure out what he was doing. A few of his teachers at daycare are Muslim and we realized he’s seen them pray and now he does it too😭 so precious ❤️ pic.twitter.com/La9DhXdLFZ

But more than anything, people were inspired by Ky’s response to her brother’s actions, because there are a lot of people in the world who would have freaked out if they’d noticed their kids or family members emulating Muslim rituals. After all, it’s those overreactions that cause prejudices in young children.

I really appreciated how you chose to see this as more of a positive thing rather than a negative like most parents would have. The fact that your so open minded and accepting of other beliefs is amazing tbh🌷
